Egg Yolks Anyone?

[Jeanne G]

I feel completely GOOFY asking this.... but I've made something that requires all of the cooked egg whites (as in deviled eggs w/o the yolk) and have a dozen boiled (cooked) egg yolks to either throw away(!) or keep and do something with----What do I do with egg yolks already "cooked"?? Throw them away??? Please help if you can. I would've pitched them, but I HATE wasting!! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/frown.gif
Thanks,
Jeanne

I say throw them away. They're cheap and they are bad for you anyway!

You could add them to potato or macaroni salad. Heck, I'd even mash them a little, add seasonings, sour cream or mayo and make a dip, sandwich, or cracker spread. Crumble them over a cobb salad, or a spinach salad.
I know they are sooo bad for you, but I LOVE them! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif Zinnia

Thanks for the two DIFFERENT answers!! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif I will probably do what Zinnia suggests because I do hate to waste. And Zinnia I like the cracker spread idea!! Thanks!

Thanks, Phoebe. You took the words right out of my mouth. There's so much conflicting information about eggs out there -- and often times they get a really bad rap.

In defense of those little devils...

How about mashing some up with anchovy paste, lots of garlic and olive oil and a bit of vinegar for salad dressing? Yum!

Mmmm, bijoux22, in addition to salad dressing, that sounds like a great spread for crostini or bruschetta! Yum! I'm copying it down for future reference. Thanks.

Once again I have to speak up for the poor maligned egg yolk! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/tongue.gif Eaten in moderation (like so many other things), egg yolks are good for you! They're packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, D, and E and iron, whereas the much-touted egg whites have almost no nutrients except some protein.

I like a hard boiled egg yolk mashed on a half of an English muffin. Yum. http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/wink.gif

Cheers, Phoebe

Jeanne G,

I have had the same dilemma with Egg yolks.

I decided to make a yellow cake.

I think a little cake is good for a person, so when you get a bonus of some extra egg yolks I say make a yellow cake, Yup from scratch, that's a good way to put egg yolks to good use.
